Monster Mayhem Hot Wheels Monster Jam League

Just an idea I thought up, beings that there aren’t any active leagues on this site anymore…maybe we can bring this section back to life.
*NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REAL-LIFE MONSTER JAM LEAGUE! THIS IS A HOT WHEELS-ONLY LEAGUE!*
If this does get off the ground, I might start up a real-life league heading into MJ Europe next year, as it’s too late (in my book) for a 1st quarter start.

So, here’s how this league will be:
I will be running a Hot Wheels Monster Jam league based off of 1/64 scale diecasts from 2006-7 on. It is strictly the large wheels (not because I don’t want to run the small wheel trucks, but because I didn’t start collecting until late ’06). If you sign up, you can pick 8 trucks off this list and drivers for each. UPDATE: I am adding which drivers are with each truck. PM me if you want another driver. Also, as years go by and my collection expands, more trucks will be able to join the league. If you want, you can trade trucks out for other trucks. Say you own Storm Damage, but Sheer Insanity is a truck you want and has been recently added. If you PM me, I will announce a truck change and give you Sheer Insanity with all of Storm Damage’s points so you (and the truck) can keep up.

RULES:
• I need at least one signup, but I would like for this to have 16 signups other than me so the league leader doesn’t have to own (though I’m fine with it if we need it).
• Each team must have eight trucks. If a truck you want has not joined yet, I can give you a provisional placeholder truck to run until the wanted truck joins.
• NEW RULE: Your team name will be your username on Mayhem, or if you want if you were on MTC you can use that as well.
• NEW RULE: The team captains will be decided after who gets the most points in the first event for that team.
• Each truck has a designated driver. If you want a truck with another truck’s driver, PM me and we can negotiate.
• If you as an owner are banned from Mayhem for more than a month, I will not allow you to rejoin that year. However, at the silly season in November-December, you can discuss and get back into the league if you still want to. REVISION: I do not care about bans that happened prior to now.
• Final announcement: This is an offline league, so you don’t need to physically own any of the trucks.
EVENTS:
• This is a racing-only league. (Mainly because it would be a logistical nightmare to add freestyle, since 4 teams will be at every event)
• Tracks and venues will be decided by votes from the competing teams for that weekend.
• Four teams will compete on the weekend (32 trucks) to prevent some 10-hour epic nightmare.
• Points will be as follows: 1 point for starting; 4 points for 2nd round; 10 points for quarter-final; 20 points for semi-final; 50 points for final; 100 points for win (if this is too crazy, comment and we can decide on how to do points as a group)

Please note that Tasmanian Devil is a COMPLETELY different entry than Taz!
League will start when we have 72 signups (3 16-truck stadiums, 3 8-truck arenas)
Thanks for reading, and let’s see if we can get this thing up and going.
